largely augmented by the hope that at
some early date the papal sco will re
cover it's temporal power, the p"wer
which is dead as Julius Caesar. To-day
they are selling the unfortunate Irish,
Germans and Poles in order to secure
the diplomatic aid of England, Bismark
and the Gar in the reacuuiring of the
temporal power of the Pope. The papacy
is machine, with nothing but Cupidlty
and lust for money and power, and it is
